| (...) true - but I think the RCX input is rated 9-12V. I don't have a train transformer here, but wouldn't it be outputing 12VDC? Can't imagine why they'd put a AC to DC converter in the regulator... Anyway, we've used the train transformers many (...) (23 years ago, 23-Aug-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)

| (...) I've used the Train Transformers with great success. If you look close at your RCX you'll notice 9-12~ Anything from 9 to 12 volts AC or DC will work fine. Though to prevent your RCX's Diode Bridge from burning out AC is better. (Shares the (...) (23 years ago, 23-Aug-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)
